    With all the horseshit out there...from misleading sound bites to disingenuous campaign literature to FAUX News to cretinous email forwards, here's a great resource for dealing with deluded coworkers or crazy in-laws...or agenda-toting editors...

    The editor, Bill Adair, is also editor of the St. Pete Times DC bureau. And no, it's not just a GOTCHA site...they don't exist solely to de-bunk. About a third of the statements they choose to evaluate are true, roughly one third are false and another third somewhere in between.

    Great find, buddy. Thanks for sharing.

    And one of the first I found was a possible reference to Yawn...i.e., Che Guevera!!!

    I hope the dipshit who put the Che flag up at that office got their ass chewed.

    Also de-bunked: "McCain was a Hanoi Hilton songbird/traitor" and all the Obama/Muslim horseshit.

    Yawn is too busy swinging on the monkey bars at Roger Williams' playground to care.
